2x4 Dart Board with Darts video released to YouTubeThis is my second contest entry for the Summers Woodworking 3rd annual creative 2x4 contest 2015. Inspiration for this project come from a future project I have planed down the road that I will build in July or August.This project came with a lot of challenges like woodturning with out a lathe, and the original dart board with design flaws. The design flaws comes with the type of wood grain, face grain doesn't do a great job on holding darts into the wood. By the time I discovered it the dart board was made, so I got rid of what was left with the 2x4, and bought another one to start the project over.
